THE BIGGEST MISTAKES WE SEE WHEN SUBMITTING A SCORE.

Bench press - Butt coming off the pad, not taping the barbell shaft at 31.9”
Squat - filming from a bad angle or not going deep enough. Make sure you re-rack the bar unassisted and do not drop the bar backwards from the top of the lift.
Deadlift - wearing lifting straps or dropping the bar from the top

If making multiple attempts at a lift, clearly show all plates being added/deducted to the barbell.
